What is the molecular clock? Levels of molecular variation could be used, in principle, to estimate divergence times, serving as evolutionary "clocks" that "tick" at different rates. Subsequent ...

The term 'molecular clock' was coined to describe the phenomenon, comparing the manner in which sequence changes occur to regular ticks of a clock. Is there really such a molecular clock?

Misalignment between the brain’s and liver’s circadian clocks, connected by the HVAN, leads to disordered eating and weight ...

A blood test to watch breast cancer’s ‘molecular clock’ could help track the growth of multiple tumours around the body and monitor how they are responding to treatment, new research suggests. The ...

Recent research reveals that the immune system interacts with the body's internal clock, influencing both fat storage and ...

In a recent study led by Professor Lydia Lynch and published in leading international journal Nature, researchers report that key immune cells – γδ T cells, which produce IL-17A – exhibit elevated ...

Within the scope of this review we summarized current knowledge on the circadian clock in oral tissues with the aim to raise awareness for findings that are relevant for the main fields of dental ...

Molecular clocks help organisms to adapt important physiological functions to periodically changing conditions in the environment. These include the adaption of the 24 h sleep-wake rhythm to ...

Scientists have developed a molecular clock that records the timing of cellular events at a single-cell resolution.

He added: "They have shown us how molecular clocks are built across all the animal kingdom." Jeffrey Hall, Michael Rosbash and Michael Young have won the highest accolade in science. The trio's ...
